  4. Why?
  5. Questioning impacts of 'business as usual' gender in development interventions… 2012 2015 2018
  6. …Limitations, not necessarily systemic or sustained, backlash?

  9. What?
  10. For what?
  11. More systemic and enduring positive outcomes Pro-active mitigation of potential backlash

  13. Of ‘social structures’ (norms,dynamics) that perpetuate and reproduce inequalities

  21. Fish are the last ones to know about the water Fish are the last ones to know about the water“ ”
  22. Catalysing self-awareness of the norms and dynamics in which we are immersed… Spark ‘critical consciousness’ through social learning processes

Editor's Notes

  1. Asked to share 2018 highlight: definitely a highlight/potential is compelling, but it is not a single year story – multiyear, many partners, much to think about and tread ‘thoughtfully’…
  2. B-a-Usual (accommodative) approaches – working around norms, such as those that limit women’s mobility, backyard ponds, access to credit via womens’ groups…
  3. Limitations: EG from seaweed: yes get fish but still not control own time, decisions as equals; Ie: systemic: women in the project report increased empowerment but it is largely bound to those women; Sustained: project ends and ‘apparent empowerment’ by end of project reduces/reverts once the project engagement or incentives end; not always positive: eg savings groups or women targeted interventions: backlash: violence
  4. Ie: systemic: women in the project report increased empowerment but it is largely bound to those women; Sustained: project ends and ‘apparent empowerment’ by end of project reduces/reverts once the project engagement or incentives end; not always positive: eg savings groups or women targeted interventions: backlash: violence
  5. E.g., so increase income and abil to control own time, be an equal decision maker,
  6. Not of technols, not of prod systems or markets…. And not individual. [[iceberg: have (assets) , do (attend) vs think: assumptions, beliefs, ways of understanding the world)]]
